Mutant overlords GWAR have finally made the leap from blood-soaked battlefields and wrecked concert halls to a realm every bit as violent and cutthroat – the realm of late night network TV. Yes, that’s right, your favorite group of fanatic furballs is set to appear on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” on October 28th, playing “Zombie’s March!”, the first single from their new album “Bloody Pit of Horror”, out Nov. 9th on Metal Blade Records. 
The announcement follows lead singer’s Oderus Urungus latest appearance on FOX News “Red Eye”, which was described as a “complete cock-up”, as he managed to botch just about every date he was suppose to plug. 
“Well, it was my 13th time on the show-something bad was bound to happen”, said the hapless super-boob. “The correct dates are up somewhere! And I totally forgot to mention that we will be offering the entire human race the chance to see our Halloween show in Milwaukee, via the Internet…that’s right a pay per view first hand worldwide ringside seat to our sickest show of the year, and for a reasonable price as well.”
The first in-store appearance is slated for Sunday October 24th in Rochester, NY at The House Of Guitars located at 645 Titus Ave Rochester, NY 14617.  The signing takes place from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM.  Fans who pre-order “Bloody Pit of Horror” at The House of Guitars, will receive the booklet from “The Bloody Pit of Horror” to have signed by the members of GWAR.  Fans that pre-order the album will be granted priority line access.  For more information please call 585-544-9928.
The second in-store is set for Halloween in Milwaukee, WI at The Exclusive Company’s “Haus of Metal” located at 5026 S. 74th St. Greenfield, WI 53220. There will also be a costume contest held during this appearance, so be sure to come in costume or dressed as one of the members of GWAR for your chance to win tickets to see GWAR that night at The Rave and other prizes from GWAR and Metal Blade Records. The signing will take place from 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM.  Fans that pre-order “Bloody Pit of Horror” will receive a copy of the booklet early to have signed by GWAR.  Fans that pre-order the album will be granted priority line access.  For more information please call 414-281-6644.  As of press time more in store appearances are being scheduled, stay tuned to GWAR.net and MetalBlade.com for more info.

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
